This was so funny.
O
n 3 March 2008, in a popular TV show, Sanal Edamaruku, the president of Rationalist International, challenged India’s most “powerful” tantrik (black magician) to demonstrate his powers on him. That was the beginning of an unprecedented experiment. After all his chanting of mantra (magic words) and ceremonies of tantra failed, the tantrik decided to kill Sanal Edamaruku with the “ultimate destruction ceremony” on live TV. Sanal Edamaruku agreed and sat in the altar of the black magic ritual. India TV observed skyrocketing viewership rates.

May be this is an attempt to increase TRP, but this may go a long way in debunking black-magic and all.

well,I read in keralasabdam magazine sanal edamarug and the tantrik's duel :lol:

what one of my friend gave the reason is that mr.sanal should have got some "raksha"(thaveez?) somewhere in his body!
